Jim Crumley
Jim Crumley was described by the Los Angeles Times Book Review as 'the best nature writer working in Britain today'. He was born and grew up in Dundee, where the skeleton of a whale hanging in the city museum would prove to be an inspiration to him and his work culminating in his book The Winter Whale. Jim worked as a journalist for nearly twenty-five years, has written over twenty books and regularly contributes to newspapers, magazines and broadcast programmes on natural history. He lives near Lochearnhead, in rural Perthshire.
